Good karma and good dharma, posted to LiveJournal

Posted on April 18, 2008 by Trystan

Dharma Trading Company rules the world!!! Dude, I always knew this was one awesome outfit, but these fine folks have, yet again, exceeded expectations! I’ve been hemming and hawing (mostly hawing) about what fabric to use for this last tiny little stupid annoying bit on my masquerade costume. I don’t really have anything right in The Stash, and I finally realized Joann’s wouldn’t have anything either.

So yesterday afternoon, around 1pm, I placed an order for 1 yard of silk at Dharma. It was after the deadline for orders to be processed that day, so I knew I’d blown it. I wrote in the comments box “I hope this can ship swiftly, but if it doesn’t I won’t cry because it’s my own dang fault.” But lo, the order was processed in a few hours.

And I received it just now! Of course, I always get orders quickly because the company is in San Raphael, CA, and I’m in San Jose — just a couple hours away. But man, that was FAST!!!

I totally and completely *BIG PUFFY HEART* Dharma!!!

Btw, the order only cost $5 too — I also love that what they carry is all pretty darn affordable and good quality too.
